If he still disagrees, let it go for a while.<BR/><BR/>If he agrees and a gift is the responce, you need to know that where much is given much is expected...and men don't like jewelry, usually. Most men just want respect and gratitude...lots and lots of gratitude. Make sure EVERYONE knows where that bling came from and who was respocible for placing it in your charge, and make sure he overhears you braggin' about how FREAKING LUCKY you are to have such a MAN. Make sure you show him gratitude in other ways as well.<BR/><BR/>Now on to the in-laws. HE needs to be the one to deal with them. HE needs to let them know he is a MAN (who knew?)-evidently they are forgetting they reared a person to do this very thing. He is successful enough in both career and marriage to afford such luxuries for his ETERNAL wife and the mother of his children.<BR/><BR/>He needs to let them fully understand HE makes his own decisions and this was HIS idea, and that to him, YOU ARE WORTH the price of that gift AND MORE.<BR/><BR/>This bling, whether they agree or not is his way of letting others know HE married You. In other words, "back off brother, she's MINE!"<BR/><BR/>He also needs to let them understand that if they give you grief over it, he will take his "wife and their grandkids home until they recieve the respect and honour they deserve." i.e. he won't allow you to be verbally or otherwise assalted by them or anyone.<BR/><BR/>The only way they are allowed to comment at all is if you have gone to them for financial support or advice. Even then it is still your decision to make, however unwisely if you have to borrow to make the purchase.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helped. It did in our household.S'meehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101359854973455791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-1154096443322287812006-07-28T08:20:00.000-06:002006-07-28T08:20:00.000-06:00How fun.
